Sweet Keto Snacks To Buy Or Recipes To Make Yourself

The ketogenic diet is all about cutting carbs and adding healthy fats in their place. Because of the severe drop in carbs also means a severe drop in sugar intake, most people assume that they can kiss dessert and sweet snacks goodbye on this low-carb diet. That's not necessarily the case. There are quite a few no-carb and low-carb sweeteners out there that can either be an ingredient in a keto recipe or a ready-made keto snack.

We've scoured the internet to bring you our favorite sweet keto-friendly snacks. Some you'll grab for a quick bite, others need a little more prep, but all of them are delicious with just a handful of net carbs.

Keto Myths That Make You Squeak

KETO MYTHS THAT MAKE US SQUEAK 



Written by Tony Berardo on April 29th, 2022 


Starting a new fitness program or changing your eating habits can be intimidating and confusing.


For decades we’ve been told that certain foods are bad for us. However, as more research is done, it turns out that some of those foods, like fat, could actually be very beneficial.


The goal of a ketogenic, or keto, diet is to get more of your calories from protein and fat than carbohydrates. This makes sense since we all know that carbohydrates from sugar, soda and pastries are not ideal for daily consumption. 

 

You’ve probably noticed that you feel different after you eat these foods. Think about how you feel after eating a bunch of bread before your appetizers or a nice slice of cheesecake after your meal.


Just as not all carbs are bad, neither are all fats and sugar. 


If you think a keto diet might be right for you, it’s important to distinguish the facts from the myths in order to achieve the best results and make your experience as stress free as possible.


MYTH: KETO IS ONLY USED FOR WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

As you would expect when eliminating certain foods from your diet, especially carbs, you will notice some weight loss. However, that is not the only change you will experience while on a keto diet. Following a proper keto diet has been shown to support overall metabolic health, body composition and improved cognitive function.


But can you gain weight while on the keto diet? As with any diet, weight gain is a possibility if the diet is not followed correctly. With a keto diet, weight gain could happen if you are not actually in a state of ketosis. If someone is following a diet and their caloric intake is less than their needs, they may lose weight over time. If their caloric intake is more than their needs, they may gain weight over time, even if the calories come from fat or protein. 


This is why a ketogenic diet takes research and planning to ensure all the necessary steps are taken to achieve optimum results. 


MYTH: EAT AS MUCH FAT AS YOU WANT

This is probably the most common myth. Although research has shown that some fats are very beneficial for a healthy lifestyle, it doesn’t mean that you should eat as much fat as you want. There is a difference between saturated and unsaturated fats, with unsaturated fats being the preferred type for a keto diet. On a keto diet, 75% of your daily calories should come from these unsaturated fat sources. Some good examples of those fats are nuts, fatty fish, eggs and avocado.


MYTH: GOING KETO MEANS ZERO ALCOHOL 

Although beer and wine are generally full of carbohydrates, there are other options, like dry wines, light beers and most liquors, if you wish to indulge. Just watch out for those mixers and chasers! You may notice that your tolerance to alcohol changes, so always be sure to drink responsibly. 


MYTH: IT’S A HIGH PROTEIN DIET

This is another common myth. As stated earlier, close to 75% of your daily calories should be coming from fat, not protein, which should only account for 20% of your caloric intake, with carbohydrates contributing the remaining 5%. If you’re having trouble meeting your fat, carb and protein goals, supplementation could be an easy way to stay keto-friendly.  Whether you’re in between meals or hungry after a workout, Keto Bars has some delicious and filling Keto Bars and foods that will help keep you on track. 


MYTH: KETO IS THE SAME FOR MEN & WOMEN

Although studies suggest women could be more sensitive to dietary changes than men, women can still safely follow a keto diet as long as they do so carefully.


It’s recommended that women focus on eating a clean, alkaline diet in addition to following a keto diet. This means that they should eat more non-starchy vegetables to ensure they are getting plenty of electrolytes and nutrients.


Of course, this advice should always be used while listening to your body. If you’re switching up your diet, your body will tell you if something is wrong. When starting a new diet, be sure to keep a food journal or download a meal tracking app on your phone so you can easily identify what bothers you if you have any issues. 


MYTH: EAT LESS FOOD WHEN ON KETO

When you first start a keto diet, it may seem like you’re eating less food. The nutrients in your food are what really matter. A decrease in your carb intake will make it feel like you are eating less in the beginning, but that is normal. You won’t be eating less food, just fewer carbs! A keto diet allows you to be more aware of the types of nutrients you consume.


MYTH: KETO FOODS ARE BLAND 

Quite the opposite is true. When first starting a keto diet, most people just focus on reading labels and trying to figure it out all on their own. The addition of supplements, protein bars, shakes and healthy snacks into your diet of whole foods like fruits, veggies and meats can make eating keto delicious and healthy.


There are many more myths about keto out there, but it is important to remember that like people, not all diets are created equal. However, when combined with exercise and patience, a keto diet could be the key to reaching your overall fitness goals.
